Re: Isola
in reply to a message by ari.
I love the connection to Oscar Wilde, but I dislike the name; it feels incomplete. I strongly prefer Isolde / Isolda.I pronounce it "ee-SO-la."

I know the obvious hardly needs stating, but with the nearly universally deterrent “IS OLD” elements in both Isolde and Isolda, it’s hardly any surprise why people might opt to consider Isola. Actually, if I am honest, I’m surprised you have abandoned (or refrained from pretending to mourn) Yseult.

I haven’t abandoned Yseult / Iseult—it’s one of my constant loves. It just hasn’t found itself in the limelight lately.
